CALLING NEW HAMPSHIRE DIVERS - Survey for New Hampshire In-Water Marine Debris Removal
NH legislature had passed HB 442 in 2023, which provided New Hampshire Fish and Game (NHFG) additional funds for a period of two years for in-water lost/derelict gear recovery, removal, and disposal.
To best utilize the legislative funds for these in-water cleanup events, NHFG will need to determine where best to concentrate in-water cleanup efforts with help from the fishing industry, diving industry, and other interested ocean users. NHFG would like to ask the dive community’s assistance in providing additional information leading to concentrated areas of in-water derelict trap gear.
Below you will find a short questionnaire and four maps of NH coastal waters. Fill out the questionnaire and mark on the map(s) where you have encountered derelict fishing gear. The survey and map(s) will provide NHFG with information in identifying areas of concentrated derelict gear.
Email Lauren Staples or Robert Atwood at Lauren.Staples@wildlife.nh.gov or Robert.Atwood@wildlife.nh.gov for questions!
